Paragon Funeral and Cremation Services was established in July 1998. In 2011, we added our own crematorium, allowing us to provide families with continuity of care.
We also provide cremation services for other funeral homes, as not all facilities have a crematorium. Rather than having those funeral providers return cremated remains, to their families, with our Paragon logo on the certificate, we opted to change our crematorium name in 2022, making it more universal for all involved.
Despite having a different name, the crematorium is still owned by Paragon and your loved one is in our care, from the time of transfer, until you receive their cremated remains. We wanted to clear up any confusion if you’ve seen the PRAIRIE VALE CREMATORIUM name on a certificate and got to wondering…
We chose the name PRAIRIE VALE because Saskatchewan is at the heart of the prairies and vale means valley. Being that Regina is surrounded by beautiful valleys, and we serve families in Regina and the surrounding areas, vale seemed fitting.
Vale is also a Latin word that means farewell, used when someone has died.
Surprisingly, it was not easy naming a crematorium. Many names were jotted down, researched, and all but one, were crossed off.
